The sturdy, Gold Coast-built TABS 5.45m Ocean Series Cabin is a beamy offshore plate-alloy cuddy ideally suited to taking offshore or cruising calm water with the family.

This boat is wonderfully finished. The paint job is first-class, a brilliant, gloss the eye-catching finish continues throughout. Right down to the TABS upholstered helm seats, aft bench and beautifully finished carpet.

She is built to handle tough conditions the bottom is 5mm plate, the sides 4mm plate and computer-engineered underfloor reinforcing and full welds make for one very durable and stable vessel.

There’s a truckload of standard features and many added extras, including transom door and the deluxe ‘whale tail’ transom with boarding platform which provides brilliant access through the optional stainless steel boarding ladder.

A good ergonomic steering wheel complements the very comfortable helm seats that can be adjusted for height and fore and aft to suit almost every size of skipper.

The skipper and companion seats are mounted on welded pods with good storage underneath and padded, aft-facing seats rest at the rear of each pod. The fold-down rear bench seat to port and starboard has a well-positioned back support.

All the extras you would expect on a fishing vessel of this calibre kill tank, live bait tank, game poles, rocket launchers the list goes on.

She is powered by an economical Mercury Optimax 115 hp 2 stroke motor with only 130 hours use. Plenty of power to get out into the open ocean
